Step-By-Step Directions
Follow these simple directions, and you can’t go wrong! This cheesy game day snack comes together quickly in 30 minutes.
Toss the cheese with seasonings, tuck in a dill pickle slice or two, and top with more cheese. Pop it in the oven to bake until golden perfection for a quick and easy appetizer.
Step One:
Lightly grease the muffin pan. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step Two:
Toss the cheeses and optional seasoning together in a medium bowl until well combined.
Measure 1 cup of shredded cheese mixture and add a medium pinch of shredded cheese to each well, just enough to cover the bottom.
Step Three:
Arrange one pickle slice in the center over the cheese. You can double the number of pickle slices and add two at a time if you want. For best flavor and texture, pat dry the dill pickle pieces with a paper towel or at least shake off excess liquid before arranging them on the cheese.
Measure ½ cup cheese and top with a small pinch of cheese. It doesn’t need to cover the pickle completely because it will do so as the cheese melts.
Step Four
Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the edges brown. Repeat the process for a second batch.
Step Five
Slightly cool baked cheese pickles before removing them from the muffin pan. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce. Sugar-free ketchup, sriracha mayonnaise, keto Ranch dressing, or another dip of choice all work.
To ensure that the cheesy pickle chips have cooked through, you want to bake until the edges turn a nice golden brown and the cheese is bubbly on top. Otherwise, it’s just melted cheese and it won’t hold its shape. The more brown the edges are, the more crispy the pickle chips will be once cooled. If they are undercooked, they will be too soft to be removed from the pan.

Pickle Cheese Chips FAQ
Pickles can be keto, provided that they do not contain added sugar. Generally, most sour or dill pickles are keto-friendly but stay clear from sweet, candied, or bread and butter pickles.
Dill pickles are naturally keto and low-carb and are, therefore, okay for people on a ketogenic diet.
Most fried pickles are not keto because of the flour-based breading. However, fried pickles can be keto as long as all the ingredients, including the flour used, are keto compliant. Generally, using a low-carb breading mixture consisting of shredded cheese, almond flour, and seasonings can make keto-fried pickles. This recipe for keto dill pickle chips is an excellent alternative to fried pickles.
